Jerome Boateng and Leon Goretzka, both from Bayern Munich, were involved in an altercation during training and had to be separated by their teammates.
The clash occurred after Goretzka made a dangerous tackle on his fellow German counterpart during a small-sided game in training on Wednesday.
According to the German publication BILD, Goretzka was initially upset after arguing with striker Thomas Muller over a penalty decision, but Boateng quickly intervened in defense of Muller.
Ten minutes later, during a training game, Goretzka made a dangerous attack as he went in studs up on the German defender, who responded by slapping Goretzka in the face.
The report claims that Robert Lewandowski quickly intervened before their manager Hans Flick came to calm the pair.
